Item Details
Description
This is an original Martin and Schwartz Wayne Model 80 Series T gasoline pump from Fire Chief Texaco Gas Station in Montana. The pump bears two 1960’s State of Montana certifications, likely when the pump was last used. There are two original 1947 Fire Chief Texaco porcelain enamel gas station signs, the pump also has Conoco green glass at the top, likely its original state. This is an original The Wayne Pump Company Model 80 Series T Serial Number 00184 or 90184 Underwriters Laboratories Inc. The pump has Martin and Schwartz Inc. parts as well. The gas pump shows an all-original condition with all original paint and components. The original signs sit on both sides of the pump reading, "Fire Chief Gasoline Texaco" and shows a red fireman helmet and the Texaco logo. The front white panels read, "Glass Must Be Full Before And After Delivery / Gallons And Sales Indication / Must Be At Zero When Delivery Is Begun Under Penalty Of Law / Centers Per Gallon Tax Included / Accurate Delivery From 5 Gal. Per Min. To Full Flow At Any Pressure". The side of the gas pump shows a metal plaque reading, "Martin And Schwartz, Inc. Salisbury, Maryland, U.S.A." and "Model 80 Series 1 T, Serial Number 90184". The Texas Company, which later became Texaco, was founded in Beaumont, Texas, in 1902. The business changed its name to Texaco in 1913 and started marketing gasoline under the Texaco moniker. In the years that followed, Texaco grew to be among the biggest oil firms in the world and played a significant role in the growth of the international oil sector. In the 1980s, the firm got involved in a legal dispute with Pennzoil over the disputed purchase of Getty Oil, which led to a record-breaking $10.5 billion payment from Texaco. Chevron Texaco, currently known simply as Chevron Corporation, was created in 2001 by the merger of Texaco and Chevron. Although the Texaco brand is no longer used for gasoline in the United States, it continues to be used in other parts of the world, particularly in Latin America and Africa. The pump shows fair condition with broken glass on the top section and both front and back panels loosely connected. The pump measures 17" L x 28" W x 63 1/4" H. The gas pump has two of the original 1947 porcelain enamel Texaco gas pump signs and remnants of the original Conoco glass, as this would have originally been a Conoco pump converted to Texaco.
